Brief:
Single stage, ya bilge rat, all plastic rocket with t' screw on plastic back t' hold t' motor in.

Construction:
T' rocket is all plastic, ya bilge rat, with t' standard elastic shock cord. Blimey! 3 molded fins.

Construction is really straight forward. T' only bug in t' ointment I had is that me kit came as a 2 set with a Maverick Missile. Arrr! Blimey! I bought t' kit at Wal-Mart and t' whole thin' be under 8 dollars. Begad! It's made o' a plastic that you cannot use plastic model cement on. No problem, I used super glue instead! Blimey! T' instructions are super easy t' understand and just about anyone can put this rocket together. Arrr! T' best part is all t' decals are painted on except for t' wings, so finish is a snap. T' kit went together in about a half hour.

Finishing:
Just follow t' instructions. Ahoy! Avast! Blimey! It looks pretty good when done!

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
I flew me rocket usin' t' A10-3T motor on a breezy day with 15mph gusts or better. It was a little hard t' get t' plastic retainer on and be a bit o' a tight fit. Begad! Blimey! T' recovery waddin' was t' trickiest t' get in and I still haven't mastered that. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' rocket itself is very stable, matey, arrr, and even in a 10mph gust went up straight and true t' about 200ft or so.

Recovery:
I thought t' shock cord on me model was a bit long. Ahoy! Avast! I loaded it in after 1.5 sheets o' waddin' and then t' parachute. Blimey! Well, blow me down! T' chute be very tricky t' get into t' triangular body and seemed rather large for such a small rocket. Avast! Arrr! I had t' refold it twice t' get it in. Avast, me proud beauty! On t' first flight, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, t' chute deployed OK and recovery be very nice! It came down at a steady pace and landed softly. Avast! I noticed that it didn't eject t' waddin' though, which was hung up inside. Avast! On t' 2nd flight, it only popped t' nose cone off and never ejected t' chute! It landed with a THUMP but thar be absolutely no damage! After pullin' out all t' recovery materials, t' engine had blown past t' waddin' and fried t' chute! This rocket is very tricky t' set up for recovery but it seems nearly indestructible anyway!

Flight Rating: 2 out o' 5

Summary:
T' main con t' this rocket is tryin' t' get t' recovery system t' function properly. Aye aye! However, arrr, it flies beautifully and is nearly indestructible. Well, blow me down! In fact it's kind o' nice t' come home and throw t' thin' in t' scuttle and clean it up! It's a cinch t' put together, matey, and will get you in t' air quickly.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
